After conquering touch screens, they're off to puncture the screen. In 2016, Rovio has plans to release an 3D animated film from the famous game for mobile phones and tablets Angry Birds. For the production of the film, the Finnish company has not taken anyone: it hired John Cohen, producer of the animated film Despicable, and David Maisel, former chairman of Marvel Studios as executive producer .
This incursion Hollywood is not to be taken lightly. Moreover, Rovio would be well to compete with Disney, told AFP CEO Mikael Hed. "If it goes well, this is what will happen. We are organizing ourselves to continue to produce films after it. "A first step in this direction has already been taken in 2011, with the acquisition of Kombo, an animation studio based in Helsinki, which is currently producing a TV series of 52 episodes of three minutes, also based on Angry Birds. "In March, our series of short animated films will start to be available worldwide, online and via traditional channels," said Mr. Hed. Exactly one year ago, the studio had already made a little short film on Nickelodeon.
